Are there any special requirements for driving or hiring a car in Papua New Guinea?

In Papua New Guinea you drive on the left. Driving can be quite difficult in Papua New Guinea due to its tropical climate and lack of unpaved roads. The countryside roads can be particularly bad during the rainy seasons. Carjacking may occur so we advise to be extra cautious especially when driving at night. There are also checkpoints in Papua New Guinea so make sure you have your licence and vehicle registration available to hand over.
